Abstract:
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most commonly used diagnostic three-dimensional imaging modalities today. Conventionally, this noninvasive technique generates contrast by measuring the X-ray attenuation properties of different tissues. Considering the wave nature of X-rays, complementary contrast can be achieved by further measuring their small-angle scattering (dark-field) properties. This provides additional valuable diagnostic information on otherwise unresolved tissue microstruc...     »
